Suggestion from Jason (S*)

hey i think i found an easier way to play this....just my opinion though,,,
its on this riff

e|----------6---|
B|-----6--------|
G|---3---3------|       
D|-5------------|

I think it should be:
e|--------------6-------|
b|-------6--------------|  so all you have to do is lift up and 
g|--0-------------------|  finger and change picking from the other chord
d|----8-----8-----------|

    later
